Mahatma Gandhi first visited Assam in the year 1921 during the Non-Cooperation Movement against British rule. His visit was a historic moment that energized the people of Assam to actively participate in the national freedom struggle.
Gandhi addressed massive gatherings in cities like Guwahati and Nowgong (present-day Nagaon), promoting swadeshi goods, khadi, and non-violent resistance. His visit laid the foundation for stronger nationalist sentiments in the northeastern region.
